Soup Supper and Service Tonight!

Our first Lenten Soup Supper and Wednesday Worship of the season is tonight.  Supper is at 6:00 p.m. and worship at 7:00, both at Genesee Valley on Old Hwy 95.

These Wednesday evenings are a great way to mark the season, taking a little time away to remember God and journey with him.  The people who come to these dinners and services become like family through the six weeks, so a bond is formed too.  These evenings make Lent distinct and special.  I think it's fair to say that you don't get the full impact of Easter and its joy without spending time reflecting like this during Lent.

This year in addition to the beautiful music members of the congregation will be sharing their own Lenten stories of joy mingled with sadness stirred with endurance and leavened with faith.  This will be a great chance to get to know each other more personally while getting a better sense of the meaning of the season.  Please support each other by coming to hear.  If you're reading this today, realizing that not everybody in our community has caught on to the blog yet, please invite someone to come with you.

I look forward to spending this season of reflection with you all.  See you tonight!
